Eindhoven Air Base in 2019; Text and Photograph's by Alex van Noye

Also this year Eindhoven Air Base was visited again several times. In addition to the exceptional visits of the American helicopters in February and October and a number of F-16 detachments to Eindhoven, the necessary EATC flights also passed by. The highlight of the year of these regular flights was the visit of a Slovakian Fokker 100. This aircraft is rarely seen in the Netherlands, making it a unique visitor to Eindhoven Air Base. This Fokker 100 is used by the government of the country to transport the president and other officials of Slovakia. The Dorniers of the Dutch Coast Guard also regularly came by to practice a few touch and go's at Eindhoven; these aircraft are based at Schiphol.
